Abstract

An optical fiber connection component includes: an optical fiber; a first fixing member to which one end portion of the optical fiber is fixed; and a second fixing member that includes either one or both of an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall having a curvature along which the optical fiber is aligned and being adhered to the optical fiber with the adhesive and a positioning portion for positioning the first fixing member at one end of the second fixing member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An optical fiber connection component, comprising:
 an optical fiber;   a first fixing member to which one end portion of the optical fiber is fixed; and   a second fixing member that includes either one or both of an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall having a curvature along which the optical fiber is aligned and being adhered to the optical fiber with the adhesive and a positioning portion for positioning the first fixing member at one end of the second fixing member.   
     
     
         2 . The optical fiber connection component according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the second fixing member includes: a side wall from which either one or both of the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall vertically protrudes; and having an open surface on a side opposite to the side wall with a wall surface of either one or both of the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall interposed therebetween.   
     
     
         3 . The optical fiber connection component according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the positioning portion at the one end portion includes:   a positioning surface parallel to the optical fiber;   a positioning surface perpendicular thereto; and   a tapered surface connected to the positioning surface perpendicular thereto.   
     
     
         4 . The optical fiber connection component according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first fixing member includes a hole through which the optical fiber penetrates.   
     
     
         5 . The optical fiber connection component according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first fixing member includes two plate-shaped members that sandwich the one end portion of the optical fiber.
